FROM THE DESK OF: Rabbi Lenny
There is a law about Chanukah I find moving and profound. Maimonides writes that ‘the command of Chanukah lights is very precious. One who lacks the money to buy lights should sell something, or if necessary borrow money, so as to be able to fulfill the mitzvah.’
The question then arises: What if, on a Friday afternoon, you find yourself with only one candle? Should you light it as a Shabbat candle or a Chanukah one? Logic suggests that you should light it as a Chanukah candle. After all, there is no law that you have to sell or borrow to light lights for Shabbat. Yet the law is both surprising and clear, that when faced with such a choice, you light your only candle as a Shabbat light. Why?
Listen to Maimonides: ‘The Shabbat light takes priority because it symbolizes shalom bayit, peace of the home. His peace is great because the entire Torah was given in order to make peace in the world.’
Chanukah commemorates one of the greatest military victories in Jewish history. Yet Jewish law rules that if we can only light one candle – the Shabbat light takes precedence, because in Judaism the greatest military victory takes second place to peace in the home.
Why did Judaism, alone among the multitude of civilizations of the ancient world, survive? Because it valued the home more than the battlefield, marriage more than military grandeur, and children more than generals. Peace in the home mattered to our ancestors more than the greatest military victory.
So as we celebrate Chanukah, spare a thought for the real victory, which was not military but spiritual. Jews were the people who valued marriage, the home, and peace between husband and wife, above the highest glory on the battlefield. In Judaism, the light of peace takes precedence over the light of war.
I wish you all a Chag Sameach, a most happy and joyous holiday.
Amen, Rabbi Lenny
There is a LOT happening at CEI right now, but you will read about it in the Board minutes. There is a personnel change that will create a ‘new normal’ in the day-to-day functioning of the temple as we will no longer have the services of a custodian. We are in the process of hiring a cleaning company, someone to cut the grass and do other chores in and around the building.
However, we are looking forward to Chanukah and another good civil year of 2025. On Light Up Night in Greensburg a beautiful new Chanukah Menorah will be erected in front of the Court House. It will be electrified so that one bulb can be lit every night of Chanukah starting on 24 Kislev/December 25th. We did not request that this be done but were approached by the county commissioners who wanted to honor Chanukah as well as Christmas.
So, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very sweet and happy Chanukah. I hope you have many hours of enjoyment with your family and lots of good food during the holiday!
CEI LINK Program – a video conference experience. Even though CEI is open for in-house worshipers, we will continue to video conference the Shabbat Services on Friday at 7:30 PM, so you can continue to attend services from home. Visit our website www.ceigreensburg.org for instructions on how to log into the meeting and for the meeting code (which should be the same each week). If you have any questions, please call and talk with Rabbi Lenny. Songs for the service will be available on the website. The Mishkan T’filah (prayer books) used in the service are available digitally on the website.

SISTERHOOD NOTES: Terri Katzman, President
Looking for something fun to do in the upcoming months? Look no further than what Sisterhood has to offer:
* Chanukah dinner on Sunday, December 29th.
* Congregation Game Day on Sunday, January 19th.
* Book review and discussion on Monday, February 17th. Shirley Shpargel will lead the discussion on The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. Even if you are unable to enjoy this “easy reading book”, attend a fun discussion.
* Sisterhood Shabbat on Friday, March 21st.
* Congregation Passover Dinner on Sunday, April 6th.
* And, our closing dinner slated for Wednesday, May 14th.
Because we will not be having “official” meetings during March and April, we need to break from tradition by having our election of officers at the February 17th meeting.
Our last get-together on Sunday, November 10th was a huge success. Following a fun lunch at CEI, we crossed the street (in the rain) to enjoy an utterly fantastic exhibit entitled Interwoven. Our docent and the exhibit were great.
The 2025 calendars will be printed and sent out in December. Can’t wait to see the cover that calendar chair, Marion Slone, chose. I don’t know about each of you but I use my calendar “daily”. At only $15, along with Jewish Holiday dates, the membership directory is so valuable.
Also, remember that you can purchase a High Holiday prayer book in honor or memory of someone special. To purchase this honorable gift, contact Bea in the CEI office.
The only other news I can share is that our first delivery of packages for our project of Food2Go4Kids was very successful. The next delivery will take place on February 6th.
And – that’s all the notes for now. Stay tuned! Happy Chanukah!
ALFRED RATNER LIBRARY NEWS: Shirley Shpargel, Librarian
December is Jewish Book Month, which is a month-long celebration of Jewish literature that takes place in the month before Hanukkah and is sponsored by the Jewish Book Council. Support Jewish authors and literature by buying, reading, or checking out books from The Alfred Ratner Library or your local library. Jewish books make great Hanukkah gifts.
The Red Balcony: A Novel by Jonathan Wilson takes place in 1933 and is based on true events when Haim Arlosoroff was assassinated while walking on a Tel Aviv beach with his wife. Arlosoroff was a leader of the Labor Zionist movement that enabled Jews of Germany to immigrate and transfer some of their goods to Palestine. As a result, he was accused of collaborating with the Nazis, which may have been why he was gunned down. Arlosoroff was a socialist and Jewish nationalist who negotiated with extreme and moderate Zionist factions, but he also brought prominent Arab and even Nazi leaders to the discussions making him one of the most hated men in Palestine. Arlosoroff’s wife was certain her husband was shot by Arabs, but then she changed her testimony, claiming that Jews killed her husband. Soon after, a couple of already imprisoned Arabs confess to the murder, but then they retract.
Wilson’s characters represent a wide spectrum of the 1930’s Palestine, with each representing a political position that is still found in Israel today. Ivor Castle is an Oxford-educated Jew, who is sent from England to serve as an assistant to the defense counsel that is representing the men, two right wing Russian Jews, who have been accused of Arlosoroff’s murder. Ivor has no passion for a Palestinian homeland; he isn’t a Zionist, and he knows no Hebrew; he simply is committed to defending his clients. He becomes professionally compromised when he gets involved in a love affair with a seductive artist named Tsiona, who happened to sketch the accused men in a Jerusalem café on the night of the murder and maybe a key witness. Ivor finds himself facing deceptions from intra-Jewish tensions over how to address the crisis of Jews in Germany to opposition to the British Mandate. Ivor’s position becomes more perilous when he meets Susannah Green, an attractive young American whose father is working to rescue German Jews.
Jonathan Wilson displays empathy for his character, Ivor Castle, who grows to feel self-liberated in Palestine where he is free, while in England he was closed in, suffocating. Wilson describes the Palestine landscape, the Tel Aviv cafes, the Jerusalem neighborhoods where the houses had no numbers and a black swastika flag flies over Jerusalem. The Red Balcony may be checked out from WLN libraries.

THE HANUKKAH NEWS
Hanukkah is observed for eight days, beginning on the evening of the Twenty-fourth day of the month of Kislev. This year Hanukkah starts at sundown, Wednesday, December 25 and lasts for eight days through Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
Alexander the Great of Greece conquered Judea, the home of the Jews, in 333 B.C.E. At that time, Alexander allowed the Jews to maintain their beliefs and traditions. With Alexander’s death, the lands he ruled were divided between the Ptolemies, who ruled in Egypt, and the Seleucids, who ruled in Syria. The Ptolemies and the Seleucids fought for control over Judea. Under the Seleucids, Syrians had adopted Greek culture and habits; in other words, they were Hellenized. In 198 B.C.E. Antiochus III, king of Syria, conquered Judea. Like Alexander, he allowed the Jews to practice Judaism. But all that changed in 175 B.C.E. when Antiochus IV, also known as Antiochus Epiphanes, came to power. He wanted to bring Greek (Hellenistic) culture and religion to Judea. Antiochus Epiphanes wanted to make Jerusalem a Greek city. He issued laws against the Jewish religion, banning Sabbath observance, circumcision and Torah study. He desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem by building a pagan altar in it and forcing the Jews to sacrifice to the Greek gods.
The Jews resented what Antiochus was doing, and in 167 B.C.E. a revolt against Greek rule began. The revolt was led by a priestly family known as the Hasmoneans or Maccabees. The leader of the family was Matityahu. He and his five sons – Judah, Yonatan, Eliezer, Yochanan and Simeon – were from the village of Modi’in. Matityahu was so angry when the Syrian soldiers came to his village to set up an altar to the Greek gods that he slew one of them. Led by Judah, a son of Matityahu, the Jews formed a rebel army to fight the Syrians. The Maccabees defeated Antiochus’ army and recaptured the Temple in Jerusalem in 165 B.C.E. The Jews cleaned the Temple and on the 25th of Kislev the Temple was rededicated.
There are certain central themes which run through our celebration of Hanukkah which are important to acknowledge.
* Hanukkah was a struggle for freedom of religious practice, the first in recorded history. That a group of people chose to put their lives on the line and battle a much stronger foe in pursuit of freedom is the real miracle of Hanukkah.
* The events leading up to the Maccabean revolt put in jeopardy the continued religious identity of the Jewish people which, if continued, would have meant an end to Jewish people-hood. The battle therefore, was a battle for Jewish survival.
* Hanukkah symbolizes the fight against totalitarianism in all forms. Hanukkah celebrates more than the independence of one people; it points toward the right to freedom for all.
* Hanukkah affirms the universal truth that the only effective answer to oppression is to fight for and defend the values and principles that oppression threatens.
How do we prepare the Hanukkah menorah?
The unique mitzvah of Hanukkah is to publicize the miracle of the Maccabees’ defeat of the Syrian-Greeks and the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days. We do this by lighting the hanukiah and displaying it in a window so that people who pass by may see it. The hanukiah is a special nine-branched candelabrum we use for Hanukkah. Eight of the branches represent the eight nights of Hanukkah. The ninth branch is called the shamash – the servant candle – and is used to light all the others. The first night of Hanukkah we begin with one candle, plus the shamash; on the second night two candles plus the shamash, increasing the number of candles with each day of the holiday. On Friday evening, the Hanukkah candles are lit before the Shabbat candles.
What do we actually do when we light them?
Tradition has us say the blessing first, then light the candles (perhaps while singing Ma’oz Tzur). Some families find it meaningful to recite the blessings while the candles are being lit. The first two blessings are read (or sung) each night of Hanukkah. The third blessing (Shehecheyanu) is used on the first night only. The Hanukkah lights should be kindled after dark, except on Shabbat.
How do we light them?
We place the candles in the menorah starting at the right; but we light starting at the left or with the newest candle each night.
What if Hanukkah falls on Shabbat?
Light your hanukiyah first, followed by the Shabbat candles.
THE GAME OF DREIDEL
Dreidel is the traditional game played on Hanukkah. Any number of people can play! Each player contributes nuts, raisins, or candies to a central “pot” and spins the dreidel (top) in turn. The Hebrew letters on the four sides of the dreidel represent the first letter of the phrase
נס גדול היה שם
“Nes Gadol Haya Sham” – a great miracle happened there, in reference to the story of Hanukkah.
If the dreidel ends “nun” נ, you neither win nor lose.
If the dreidel lands on “gimmel” ג, you win the pot.
If the dreidel falls on “hey” ה, you win 1/2 the pot.
If it falls on “shin” ש, or a “pey” פ, you add two to the pot.
—————————————————–
KINDLING THE LIGHTS
To light the chanukiyah, place the candles in from right to left and light them from left to right. Begin with the one candle on the first night, increasing by one each night until all eight are lit on the eighth night. The candle used to light the other candles is the shmash.
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר של חנכה
BARUCH ATAH ADONAI ELOHEINU MELECH HA’OLAM, ASHER KID’SHANU B’MITZVOTAV V’TZIVANU L’HADLIK NER SHEL CHANUKAH.
Blessed are you, Adonai out God, ruler of the universe, who hallows us with mitzvot and commands us to kindle the lights of Chanukah.
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם שעשה נסים לאבותינו בימים ההם בזמן הזה
BARUCH ATAH ADONAI ELOHEINU MELECH HA’OLAM, SHE’ASAH NISSIM LA’AVOTEINU BAYAMIM HAHEM BAZ’MAN HAZEH.
Blessed are you, Adonai our God, ruler of the universe, who performed wondeous deeds for our ancestors in days of old, at this season.
On the first night only, add the following blessing:
ברוך אתה יי אלהינו מלך העולם שהחינו וקימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה
BARUCH ATAH ADONAI ELOHEINU MELECH HA’OLAM, SHEHECHEYANU V’KIY’MANU V’HIGI’ANU LAZ’MAN HAZEH.
Blessed are you, Adonai our God, ruler of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season.
